Default Strange drag brakes and BS Stree Lites.

Hey Guy's, wondering if anyone is running the strange drag brakes with BS street lites? Did you need to Grind the calipers at all? I'm assuming no but just want to make sure. I would like to buy the non F-body specific wheels because I think the brakes will clear and there $100 cheaper. I'd just like to make sure before I purchase them.

Thanks in advance
Ryan

So what master cylinder are you going to run? I have the same setup but would like to go with the Manual non boosted style. I am unsure if you would have to run a proportioning valve so that the backs don't lock up quick. Any thoughts?

If you are running the Strange brakes front rear you run the Strange master cylinder with no proportioning valve.....

The manual brake master cylinder can be found HERE

I don't think I stated that correctly. I have the factory front disc setup and the strange rears on my 9". How do I apply the pressure correctly and connect the lines without have the strange front breaks. Thank you for your response.

PS: I love my K member I purchased from you guys! It is great for the Big Block!

well you need the braided lines to connect from the factory brake lines to the strange caliper. i would go with SJM >>> sponsor they have the lines and a abs delete kit with a proportion valve so adjust the brake bias. How this helps.
